GRANTS COMMITTEE REPORT
The Grants Committee is comprised of volunteers who are drawn from the Foundation Board and non-Board residents of Forest Highlands.
It is central to the function and mission of the Foundation - both with regard to support for Flagstaff not-for-profits and as a steward for the philanthropy of Forest Highlands residents.
In its stewardship role, the Committee has developed substantial institutional expertise with regard to the Flagstaff not-for-profits. It meets regularly with non-profit management, conducts site visits, makes assessments of requests for support, and evaluates the operating effectiveness of the many local non-profits seeking assistance. This experience helps insure added value in the Application of members’ generous donations to a diverse and effective group of grantees.
